Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Base
- 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3/4 cup milk (2% or whole)
- 8 ounces Cool Whip (thawed but still cold)
Add-ins
- 4 standard size Snickers bars
- 4 Granny Smith apples
Topping
- Caramel sauce (to taste)
Instructions
- Make the pudding mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, forming a creamy base.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed but still cold Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until well combined, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Prepare add-ins: Chop the Snickers bars and Granny Smith apples into small bite-sized pieces. Reserve some Snickers pieces for garnishing the top.
- Combine ingredients: Add the majority of the chopped Snickers and apples into the pudding mixture and gently fold everything together, distributing the pieces evenly without crushing them.
- Serve and garnish: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or dish. Top with the reserved Snickers pieces and drizzle caramel sauce over the top. For best texture, keep the apples chilled before mixing, or refrigerate the salad for 30 minutes to an hour if ingredients were at room temperature. Consume within a few hours to prevent apple browning and watery texture.
Notes
- Use tart Granny Smith apples for the best flavor contrast and to prevent too much sweetness.
- Keep ingredients cold for the creamiest texture and freshest taste.
- Consume within a few hours to avoid the salad becoming watery or the apples browning.
- Feel free to substitute Cool Whip with whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Caramel sauce amount can be adjusted according to your preferred sweetness level.
